 | | Coming soon: LTrax, an LDraw-Compatible "Track Designer" [DAT]
|
|
Hi! I'm almost done with a working beta of my latest program: LTrax. It's a program inspired by Track Designer by Matthew Bates, but *much* less advanced. The data files in LTrax are totally text based, and I have tried to make it modular. The (...) (22 years ago, 27-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I think the most confusing aspect of the existing curve program, with the exception of Fredrik's, is the fact that the control points are tricky to position correctly. Fredriik's LDraw mode solves this by dynamically determining the control (...) (22 years ago, 27-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) That's pretty much what it does. Right now it creates an LDraw part whose front face contains a whole bunch of small squares, one for each pixel in the image file (except for the edges, those aren't squares). The rest of the faces of the torso (...) (22 years ago, 26-Dec-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad)

Has this part been made or is there a mockup of it? The part number on the set references is x68, Technic Liftarm 1 x 2. It's part of set 8461 William's F1 Racer. I thought about trying to modify the 1 x 3 Liftarm, but I stink at trying to make (...) (22 years ago, 25-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Cool renderings!! Does your Torso Generator take image files and create torsos using LDraw polygons based on the images?? That part wasn't clear on your page. That rocks!! Are all of the renderings on your site LDraw-based? I see a helmet (...) (22 years ago, 25-Dec-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad)

(...) I do have these parts, but I'm confused by your statement of incompatibility. The pins on the plug (s\2775s01.dat) are modelled with a diameter of 7LDu. The pin holes in the end of the motor (s\6216mb.dat) are also modelled with a diameter of (...) (22 years ago, 24-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)

For those with a high speed internet connection: (URL) (2.4 M). This is the same model, but it is colored (so it is easier to see). It has about twice as many angles, but it still has the same view bounds. James (22 years ago, 24-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
